Well,
Think of it in this way: you are the only one (or one of a few) who has this issue. Most likely it is caused by your set up, rather than some bugs in the miner. It's a bit naive to expect phoenix to release a "a new version with the fix" when you are not even properly describing the problem: what is your setup? how many cards do you have? at what point the miner crashes? During the dag generation? do you have enough virtual memory?
Have you tried -gser, -altinit?
The startup crash happens, on any number of gpus, tested on systems with 1 to 13 gpus and all give the error, virtual memory is set to 50gb, although i tried with no virtual memory and the problems still happen, gser and alinit set, problems still happen and the system is celeron 3900 ssd sandorfce based 128gb memory ram 8gb, log does not show much, here it is,

Also tried on different amd drivers, nothing at all, that is what the log shows. Previous release 2.9, i never had a startup crash and like i said is a windows 10 x64 1709 fresh install, no updates were downloaded, nothing was modified other than I disabled windows update.
